Another departure: Linda Indergand ends her impressive career

Linda Indergand bei den Olympischen Spielen 2021

Swiss cross-country Olympic medal winner Linda Indergand announces the end of her career. Her 14th World Championships, at the home World Championships in Zermatt and Crans-Montana, will be her last as a professional.

Linda Indergand announces her retirement on social media. She is ending her long and successful career after the home World Championships in Zermatt and Crans-Montana. The 32-year-old will be competing in her 14th and final World Championships, exactly 14 years after standing on the top step of the podium as World Champion at her first Junior World Championships in Champéry in 2011.

After 28 years on the bike, 13 of them as a professional, the athlete from Uri looks back with gratitude. Four world championship titles, seven European Championship medals, Olympic bronze, Swiss championship titles and countless memories characterize her career. Her most emotional moment, she writes, remains the bronze medal at the historic Swiss triple victory in Tokyo 2021 alongside Jolanda Neff and Sina Frei.

Indergand would like to thank her family, friends, coaches, teams, sponsors and fans for their support along the way. But it's not quite over yet. After her last big performance at the home World Championships, the World Cups in Lenzerheide and overseas are still on the agenda this season. There she wants to give her all again and end her successful career with a smile and full of gratitude.
